Biography
Arthur Bruguiere was born on 22 August 1756 in Chalons-en-Champagne in the Kingdom of France to a bourgeois French family. He enlisted in the French Army in 1774, choosing to join the artillery, as it was the only branch of the army that did not require noble title to advance in rank as an officer. Bruguiere became the commander of a battery of 12-lber horse artillery in 1789 following the French Revolution and fought in the French Revolutionary Wars on the Rhine front. He served in the battle of Sorbey, First Battle of Stokach, and the battle of Hohenlinen, and was an artillery commanded until he retired in 1816.
